[Lexicog] archaic entries

[Amsler, Robert]

In Webster's Third the comments are in the- "Explanatory Notes" section
under "Status labels"
In Webster's New World they are in the "Guide to the Dictionary" section
under "What are USAGE LABELS & NOTES and how are they used"

Robert,

I don't have a copy of Merriam-Webster's Third New International (1961, 
1993) dictionary or Webster's New World College Dictionary, Fourth
Edition 
(2004) to hand. From your message it looks like the definitions of 
"obsolete", "archaic", etc. for Merriam-Webster's are in the A-Z but the

same definitions in Webster's New World College Dictionary are in a
special 
section. Is that correct? I also assume 1755 is chosen in
Merriam-Webster's 
because that was the year Samuel Johnson published his dictionary.
